Metal Roof Vapor Barrier Insulation

To meet the unique insulation requirements of a metal roof you need a total insulation system prodex total insulation insulation radiant barrier vapor barrier.

Metal roof vapor barrier insulation.

Felt underlayment provides little resistance to air and moisture vapor migration and does not serve as an effective air barrier. Not every wall does. Fiberglass and other traditional insulations for metal buildings resist heat loss by conduction and convection but has little effect on radiant heat gain loss. Metal roofing insulation rolls 48 inch 4 ft.

The batts are located side to side on the rafter of the roof. In fact rhino s vapor retarder rates 300 stronger than the vinyl barriers typically offered by most metal building companies. That reduction of air and moisture infiltration can then help improve roof longevity. A vapor retarder is a material used to prevent water vapor from diffusing into the wall ceiling or floor during the cold winter.

X 100 ft 600 sq. Architectural metal roofs with felt underlayment are best suited for buildings with proper slope and low moisture loads in dry or arid climates. Ft 72 inch 6 ft. Both materials make a great physical barrier between the interior building and the metal roof.
